Assignment 3, How are you smart:  As an overview course, EDUC500 touches upon many critical concepts, some of which are later covered more fully in other courses. One of these is learning differences, of which there are many. This week, let’s touch upon how learning styles play into our own learning, teaching, and relationships with families and communities. In answering the questions below, you may use any theory you like in considering learning styles/intelligences, some of which are reviewed in this content tab.

  • What kind of learner are you and/or how are you intelligent? How has this impacted your own learning through the years? How might it affect your professional practice?
  • Applying learning styles/intelligences: Give an example of content you might teach to students or convey to families. How might you adapt it for different kinds of learners?

Everyone has unique learning styles and preferences, and others prefer different learning styles in various situations. It is no wonder that we all learn differently. While some prefer taking detailed notes in class, others like recording the lecture and listening to the speaker's notes later. I am a kinesthetic learner because I prefer doing things and physical activities to just sitting and taking notes. I also like handling physical objects and finding out how things work by myself. Mainly, I remember things better if I do them by myself, and the best way to relax and unwind is by doing exercises. Also, instead of sit-down lectures, I prefer hands-on workshops. This learning style has dramatically impacted my educational journey and my profession. It has helped me in making notes and practicing what I have learned…..Read More

Technological development is driving digital transformation and globalization, and most high- paying jobs require employees to be able to use technology. Therefore, educators and all relevant stakeholders should help learners acquire the essential skills for succeeding in their future careers. COVID-19 showed why technology is a crucial element in teaching and learning. Apart from using technology as a crisis-management tool, integrating it into the current curriculum can harness virtual learning as an important learning tool. My remarks are based on the article, “Realizing the promise: How can education technology improve learning for all” by Ganimian and Hess (2020)…Read More

Assignment 2, Leadership and Lollipops: As we ponder philosophies of education, leadership comes into play as important, yet often ambiguous, concept. Please view the videos from Rita Pierson and Drew Dudley (below) and provide your responses to one and/or both.

Assignment 2, Leadership and Lollipops

Most of us believe that leadership is a title only for the people who can highly manage things, people with massive experience. We see leaders as truly gifted people or older folks. Drew Dudley’s Everyday Leadership is one of the best inspirational talks I have ever listened to. Before watching this video, it had never occurred to me that a leader could be anything less or more than a person who leaders people, a country, or an organization. However, Dudley speaks about lollipop moments- a time when an ordinary person in my life did or said something that changed my life course. After…..Read More

PDE’s Ethics & Conduct Kit Unit 6:

https://www.pspc.education.pa.gov/Promoting-Ethical-Practices-Resources/Ethics-Toolkit/Pages/default.aspx

Consider the scenarios below.  Each fictional scenario is loosely based on actual cases that have been brought to the PSPC in recent years or ones that have appeared in local or national news.   In each situation, consider how the teacher could have avoided the misconduct and how the infraction could ultimately affect the teacher’s career.

Case 1

Samuel D. is a high school English teacher who works on the weekends and during summers running a booth at a local flea market. At his flea market booth, Mr. D. resells handbags and watches that he has purchased online.  After a local investigation into the flea market, several booth owners including Mr. D. are arrested for trafficking in counterfeit goods.  Despite his claims of innocence, Mr. D. is found guilty of the offense and required to pay a substantial fine.

Case 2

Mary C. is a middle school band director who organized a New Year’s Day trip so that her students could perform in a bowl game in Florida.  Because of inclement weather, the trip was cancelled.  Ms. C claimed that all of the fees the band had collected for the trip would not be refunded because of the cancellation.  When several parents contacted the travel agency, Ms. C’s deception was discovered.

Discussion 2:

Case 1: Samuel D should have researched the source and quality of the watches and handbags before selling them to ensure they are not counterfeit. He is a professional teacher, and the public vests the education profession with responsibility and trust. Therefore, educators&#39; professional ethics and practices require teachers to embody the highest ideals of professional service. Besides, a teacher is the public’s role model and therefore should always be at their best behaviors. Thus, Samuel’s……Full Solution

Before taking this training, my knowledge about implicit bias was very little. I didn’t know everyone has biases, and whenever I heard the term, I considered it hurtful or damaging. I have believed that I am certainly not biased throughout my love because I have lived with a family that thought inclusion and diversity as our fundamental values. My parents had a foundation that aimed to secure fair treatment and justice for all Americans. I was part of this organization, and I helped train people how to……Read More

Effective and appropriate relationships and interactions with school community members are essential for every educator. I advocated for various activities that promoted effective relationships with the school community during my teaching practice placement. For instance, I pushed the school administration to implement community-building activities for the students, teachers, parents, and the non-teaching staff. This program involves all the members of the learning process. For example…..Log in to read now

Discussion 2, Week 8:

Domain 4 highlights the professional responsibility that learners may not realize regularly. As soon as we enter the teaching profession, we observe some professional responsibilities right away. In contrast, others develop as we get comfortable with and students master instruction and classroom management issues. One commitment that we don’t realize right away is keeping students’ records. As Danielson (2007) states, we must track student progress in classroom events and keep non-instructional tasks as efficient, organized, and effective as possible. This element helps us register and keep track of students’ work and record the curriculum sections that learners have or have not captured…..Read More

How have your overall experiences been with the PBIS process at your Placement? How do you feel about it? Effective or Ineffective?

***Solved***

Discussion 1, Week 8:

According to Myers, Simonsen &amp; Freeman (2020), Positive Behavioral Interventions Supports (PBIS) is a framework for ensuring schools and classes are more effective learning environments. It facilitates the development of behavior and a social culture supporting the unique needs of every student to improve their behavioral, academic, emotional, and social outcomes. Several PBIS initiatives have been implemented in my Student Teaching Placement to help learners improve their learning. These strategies are flexible enough to support the learners, their families, and the larger community. They include routines, silent signals, tangible reinforces, positive phrasing, and proximity to students. As teachers, our job is very challenging. We are responsible for molding and guiding future world leaders towards educational excellence. To accomplish this responsibility, the institution I worked at during my Student Teaching Placement started these initiatives to support learners in making positive life choices. These measures were very effective…..Read More

PAD 3003: Public Management and Administration

This paper presents three questions that I found most compelling throughout the course. They include “What is Public Administration,” “What is Accountability,” and “Can—and Should—Government Treat Citizens More Like “Customers?” Through the three questions, one understands the overall importance of Public Administration as applied in public government. It also states why anyone curious about pursuing Public Administration as a discipline should understand the three-worded questions.

Three Questions

Question 1: What is Public Administration?

Question 2: What Is Accountability?

Question 3: Can—and Should—Government Treat Citizens More Like “Customers”?

Question 1: What is Public Administration?
